Game Day Private Jets Launches First-of-Its-Kind “By-the-Seat” Same-Day Game Day Experiences for 2026 College Football Season; Names Ryan Rudolph Strategic Advisor to Guide Shuttle Initiative

HOUSTON, TX — Game Day Private Jets, a first-of-its-kind, fully integrated private travel membership platform built around college athletics, has announced its first series of “by-the-seat” Same-Day Game Day Experiences ahead of the 2026 college football season. The program is designed to serve one of the most difficult travel segments in sports: premium, same-day roundtrip access to major college football weekends in markets where commercial air service, hotel inventory, ground logistics, and game-day congestion often create significant friction for donors, alumni, corporate groups, and high-end fans. The announcement follows Game Day Private Jets’ launch partnership with the Texas Tech Red Raider Club, which will introduce Game Day memberships, individual charter access, shared travel opportunities, and season-long shuttle programming to Texas Tech donors and supporters. Through the relationship, Red Raider Club members will be able to access premium private travel options designed around Texas Tech football weekends and other high-demand athletic events. As part of the rollout, Game Day Private Jets named aviation executive Ryan Rudolph as Strategic Advisor for the shuttle initiative. Rudolph will support route development, carrier coordination, aircraft sourcing, and operational planning as Game Day expands its 2026 shuttle schedule, leveraging his deep Part 380 shuttle expertise with BARK Air and Fly Louie. A Premium Same-Day Game Day Experience Game Day Private Jets is building its by-the-seat program around the college sports calendar, with an emphasis on high-demand matchups, underserved campus markets, and premium same-day roundtrip travel experiences. The model is designed to allow travelers to depart on game day, arrive close to kickoff, enjoy coordinated ground transportation, attend the game, and return home after the event without the need for multi-night hotel stays or complicated commercial airline connections. Roundtrip Same-Day Game Day Experiences are expected to start as low as $1,250 to $1,500 per person on select routes and typically include coordinated ground transportation to and from the stadium. For select games, Game Day will also arrange turnkey Game Day Tailgates for members, creating a more complete premium experience from departure to kickoff and back home after the final whistle. Game Day has finalized initial shuttle planning for several high-profile 2026 college football weekends, with additional routes expected to be announced in the coming weeks. Initial market planning includes routes connected to Texas Tech, University of Houston, SMU, Florida State, LSU, Clemson, Oklahoma, Michigan, and Ole Miss games. Fans, donors, alumni, and corporate groups can create a free Game Day Community account at www.gamedaycommunity.com to find their local school group, connect with other alumni and supporters, and begin planning travel to upcoming games. The company also offers paid annual memberships, including a Family Membership for $949 and a Business Membership for $8,500. Paid members receive preferred pricing on individual charters, the ability to join or propose shared flights, and priority access and pricing for Game Day Shuttles. Selective Aircraft and Carrier Strategy To support the rollout, Game Day Private Jets is developing a selective carrier network across multiple aircraft categories suited for event-based college sports travel. The company expects to utilize a range of aircraft, including turboprops, midsize business jets, large-cabin aircraft, and select VIP regional jets for larger alumni and donor groups. “We are currently working with a focused group of launch operators as we roll out our initial 2026 shuttle schedules,” said Luis Garcia, Founder & CEO of Game Day Private Jets. “The response from our member communities and school-aligned audiences has been very encouraging. As we prepare to open additional routes, we will be expanding our carrier network with a small number of direct operators who are aligned with our standards for safety, reliability, service, and event-day execution.” The shuttle initiative is part of Game Day Private Jets’ broader platform, which combines private charters, shared travel communities, by-the-seat shuttles, donor travel, turnkey Game Day Tailgates, and revenue-generating college athletics partnerships into a single premium travel ecosystem. A New Travel Infrastructure for College Athletics Garcia says the Game Day Shuttles model is intended to become a permanent part of the company’s year-round sports travel platform. “This is not just a seasonal product,” Garcia said. “It is a foundational part of what Game Day Private Jets is building. We are bringing together private aviation, regional fan aggregation, premium ground logistics, turnkey event hospitality, and college sports demand in a way that has not previously existed at scale. Our goal is to make high-friction sports travel easier, more efficient, and more valuable for fans, donors, alumni, schools, operators, and student-athletes.” Garcia added that each Game Day Shuttle seat sale also supports the company’s broader athletics impact model. “Every seat sold through Game Day Shuttles is designed to do more than move people to a game,” Garcia said. “It helps fuel the Game Day Impact Fund, which creates incremental NIL and marketing opportunities for aligned universities and Game Day Athlete Ambassadors. That is the bigger vision — leveraging our REVUP program to turn premium sports travel into a new value engine for college athletics.” For aircraft operators, the program is designed to create predictable, recurring event-based demand during the college football season, particularly on weekends when certain aircraft may otherwise have underutilized availability. “Operators value schedule predictability, high-quality demand, and efficient aircraft utilization,” said Ryan Rudolph, Strategic Advisor to Game Day Private Jets. “Game Day’s collegiate shuttle initiative is built around those exact principles. By pairing targeted sports demand with disciplined route planning and selective carrier alignment, we believe this can become a highly repeatable model for premium event travel.” All shuttle flights are operated by properly certificated direct air carriers and arranged under the U.S. DOT public charter framework, as applicable.

Through its digital community, fans, donors, alumni, and corporate groups can connect by school, plan trips together, and choose from five ways to travel, including by-the-seat Same-Day Game Day Experiences starting at just $1,250 per person on select routes for premium Saturday out-and-backs.

GAME DAY PRIVATE JETS ANNOUNCES FIRST NIL “GAME DAY AMBASSADOR”

Grant Chadwick, LSU Punter, Selected to Launch Game Day Private Jets’ Athletes Platform April 8, 2026 [Houston, TX] Game Day Private Jets (“Game Day”), the private travel platform built for college athletics, today announced its first official NIL partnership with Grant Chadwick – LSU football student-athlete, naming him the inaugural Game Day Ambassador under the company’s newly launched Game Day Athletes platform. This milestone represents the first athlete activation within Game Day’s broader REVUP ecosystem — a scalable model designed to align fans, donors, travel, and NIL into a single revenue-generating platform for college athletics. A NEW CATEGORY: GAME DAY ATHLETES The Game Day Athletes platform introduces a new NIL category focused on experiential engagement, storytelling, and fan connection — built around the most powerful force in sports: the game day experience. As a Game Day Ambassador, Chadwick will generate premium content, fan engagement campaigns, and exclusive experiences tied to Game Day Private Jets’ national travel community. “Game day in college football is different — it’s emotional, it’s generational, it’s everything,” said Chadwick. “To be part of something that brings fans together in a new way, while also supporting athletes, is something I’m proud to be a part of.” “Grant represents exactly what we’re building this platform around — high-character athletes, passionate fan bases, and experiences that bring them together,” said Luis Garcia, Founder of Game Day Private Jets. “And a lot of credit goes to Beau Thompson and United Athlete Sports for seeing the bigger picture early — this isn’t just about a deal for one athlete, it’s about building a new model for how athletes, fans, and brands connect around game day.” SPOTLIGHT: GRANT CHADWICK Chadwick has built a reputation as a reliable and disciplined presence within one of the most competitive programs in college football and returns in 2026 as one of the top punters in the country. “I think a lot of people assume flying private is out of reach, but seeing how the Game Day Private Jets platform actually works — especially how Members can come together in the community and split the cost with a group to home and away games — it’s way more attainable than I expected,” said Chadwick. “The passion around the game day experience drives college football, especially here in Baton Rouge. If this helps more fans show up, support their teams, and be part of that atmosphere — that’s a big deal. I’m excited to be part of it.” Beyond his on-field contributions, Chadwick represents the next evolution of the student-athlete — one who is actively participating in building the future of fan engagement, NIL activation, and the broader college athletics ecosystem. As part of his role as a Game Day Ambassador, Chadwick will lead the “Maximize Your Hang Time” campaign — a message rooted in spending more time with family, friends, and fellow fans on game day through the Game Day Private Jets platform. SAME DAY GAME DAY XP — REDEFINING ACCESS At the core of the platform is what Game Day Private Jets calls “Same Day Game Day XP” — the ability to fly private to a game and return the same day, eliminating hotels, wasted time, and logistical friction. Sample experiences include: $10,000 total aircraft cost for a same-day roundtrip, split across a group of 8 Approximately $1,250 per person Often less than the cost of commercial flights, hotels, and a full weekend trip BUILT INTO THE REVUP ECOSYSTEM Game Day Athletes is a core pillar of REVUP — a self-sustaining revenue ecosystem and flywheel designed to generate new, recurring income streams for college athletics. REVUP brings together: Premium travel experiences (charters, shared flights, Game Day Shuttles) Engaged fan and donor communities Scalable NIL activation The result is a revenue flywheel where fan participation, travel activity, and membership growth continuously generate funding for both athletics and student-athletes. Unlike traditional models, REVUP is not a sponsorship — it is an institutional partnership that delivers both revenue generation and year-round fan engagement, setting a new experiential standard for college athletics. Schools can activate the REVUP platform with little to no upfront cost, either through the support of a key donor or by leveraging their existing donor base to fund the program. FIRST REVUP SCHOOL ANNOUNCEMENT COMING SOON Game Day Private Jets confirmed its first REVUP partner school will be announced shortly. The selected program features a highly engaged, loyal fan base paired with a geographically challenging destination, where traditional travel limits accessibility and participation on game day. The athletics department identified a clear opportunity to: Launch new, scalable NIL initiatives Deliver premium, experiential offerings for top donors Increase attendance and fan engagement REVUP was built specifically to address these needs. Through the platform, schools can unlock up to $200,000 in immediate NIL activation, while establishing a long-term revenue flywheel driven by memberships, travel activity, and donor engagement. The model operates in full alignment with Athletics, NIL Collectives, and Sports Properties, creating a unified approach to revenue generation and fan experience. This is not a campaign — it is infrastructure for the future of college athletics. INDUSTRY ALIGNMENT: UNITED ATHLETE SPORTS The partnership with Grant was facilitated with United Athlete Sports, led by Beau Thompson and Chris Turnage. “What stood out immediately was how differentiated this platform is,” said Thompson. “Game Day Private Jets isn’t just another private jet company looking for an NIL sponsorship deal — they’re building real infrastructure around the athlete, the fan, and the entire game day experience.” “But beyond the model, what really impressed me is how passionate their leadership team is about college sports and supporting student-athletes through NIL,” Thompson added. “They understand the culture of college athletics, they care about doing this the right way, and they’re the type of group you want to build with.” “Beau and his team do an exceptional job of aligning the right brands with the right athletes,” said Luis Garcia, Founder of Game Day Private Jets. “They’re focused on building real partnerships that create sustainable
